Read the following excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller and then answer the question that follows.
The morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. The little blind children at the Perkins Institution had sent it and Laura Bridgman had dressed it; but I did not know this until afterward. When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l." I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name. I left the well-house eager to learn. Everything had a name, and each name gave birth to a new thought. As we returned to the house every object which I touched seemed to quiver with life. That was because I saw everything with the strange, new sight that had come to me.
Which of the following best summarizes the excerpt?
1. Helen's teacher taught her to finger spell doll so she knew how to tell her teacher what toy she wanted to play with.
2. Helen's teacher taught her all objects have a name opening the world of language.
3. Helen liked to touch all the objects in the house so she knew which ones she wanted to play with.
4. Helen was excited to learn that everything had a name so that she could talk with her teacher.

Answer:
Mrs. Hamilton provided us with paper and pencils; we had to decide what ideas we wanted to include in our project.
Explanation:
Instead of doing a semi-colon you could also do a period. The comma is separating two complete thoughts, which is not correct. Therefore, it needs to be a semicolon or a period,not a comma.

What should the transitional tags
but, however, and on the other hand be used for?
to introduce quotes
to contrast ideas
to show the order of ideas
All of the above
Answers
The transitional tags "but," "however," and "on the other hand" are primarily used to contrast ideas. The correct option is B.
What are transitional tags used for?They serve as cues that guide the reader in understanding your views. Use transitional language to move your ideas from one sentence to the next and from one paragraph to the next.
These transitional words or phrases are used to indicate a shift in the direction of the writer's argument, to introduce a contrasting perspective or idea, or to indicate a counterpoint to a previous argument. They help to create a more cohesive and effective piece of writing by showing the relationship between ideas and arguments.
While they can also be used to show the order of ideas or to introduce quotes, their primary function is to provide a clear contrast between two different ideas or perspectives.
Thus, the ideal selection is option B.

At first they descended in silence--save for the twitterings of the Selenites--and then into a stir of windy movement. In a little whilethe profound blackness had made his eyes so sensitive that he began to see more and more of the things about him, and at last thevague took shape."Conceive an enormous cylindrical space," says Cavor, in his seventh message, "a quarter of a mile across, perhaps; very dimly lit atfirst and then brighter, with big platforms twisting down its sides in a spiral that vanishes at last below in a blue profundity; and liteven more brightly--one could not tell how or why. Think of the well of the very largest spiral staircase or lift-shaft that you haveever looked down, and magnify that by a hundred. Imagine it at twilight seen through blue glass. Imagine yourself looking down that;only imagine also that you feel extraordinarily light, and have got rid of any giddy feeling you might have on earth, and you will havethe first conditions of my impression. Round this enormous shaft imagine a broad gallery running in a much steeper spiral than wouldbe credible on earth, and forming a steep road protected from the gulf only by a little parapet that vanishes at last in perspective acouple of miles below."Looking up, I saw the very fellow of the downward vision; it had, of course, the effect of looking into a very steep cone. A wind wasblowing down the shaft, and far above I fancy I heard, growing fainter and fainter, the bellowing of the mooncalves that were beingdriven down again from their evening pasturage on the exterior. And up and down the spiral galleries were scattered numerous moonpeople, pallid, faintly luminous beings, regarding our appearance or busied on unknown errands."Either I fancied it or a flake of snow came drifting down on the icy breeze. And then, falling like a snowflake, a little figure, a littleman-insect, clinging to a parachute, drove down very swiftly towards the central places of the moon."The big-headed Selenite sitting beside me, seeing me move my head with the gesture of one who saw, pointed with his trunk-like'hand' and indicated a sort of jetty coming into sight very far below: a little landing-stage, as it were, hanging into the void. As it sweptup towards us our pace diminished very rapidly, and in a few moments, as it seemed, we were abreast of it, and at rest. Amooring-rope was flung and grasped, and I found myself pulled down to a level with a great crowd of Selenites, who jostled to seeme."It was an incredible crowd. Suddenly and violently there was forced upon my attention the vast amount of difference there is amongstthese beings of the moon."Indeed, there seemed not two alike in all that jostling multitude. They differed in shape, they differed in size, they rang all the horriblechanges on the theme of Selenite form! Some bulged and overhung, some ran about among the feet of their fellows. All of them had agrotesque and disquieting suggestion of an insect that has somehow contrived to mock humanity; but all seemed to present an

Explanation:
Here: THE messages of Cavor from the sixth up to the sixteenth are for the most part so much broken, and they abound so in repetitions, that they scarcely form a consecutive narrative. They will be given in full, of course, in the scientific report, but here it will be far more convenient to continue simply to abstract and quote as in the former chapter. We have subjected every word to a keen critical scrutiny, and my own brief memories and impressions of lunar things have been of inestimable help in interpreting what would otherwise have been impenetrably dark. And, naturally, as living beings, our interest centres far more upon the strange community of lunar insects in which he was living, it would seem, as an honoured guest than upon the mere physical condition of their world.
I have already made it clear, I think, that the Selenites I saw resembled man in maintaining the erect attitude, and in having four limbs, and I have compared the general appearance of their heads and the jointing of their limbs to that of insects. I have mentioned, too, the peculiar consequence of the smaller gravitation of the moon on their fragile slightness. Cavor confirms me upon all these points. He calls them "animals," though of course they fall under no division of the classification of earthly creatures, and he points out "the insect type of anatomy had, fortunately for men, never exceeded a relatively very small size on earth." The largest terrestrial insects, living or extinct, do not, as a matter of fact, measure 6 in. in length; "but here, against the lesser gravitation of the moon, a creature certainly as much an insect as vertebrate seems to have been able to attain to human and ultra-human dimensions."

The Empire That Vanished
(1) Using archaeological studies, and Greek writings, historians now know much
more than ever before about the mysterious group of people called the Scythians. (2)
Historians have long known that they were nomadic, barbaric horsemen and a powerful force in Europe for about 400 years. (3) These people ruled a vast area of land for several centurys and then seemed to have vanished completely. (4) Artifacts found in the territory that the Scythians controlled have given clues about how they lived and what things they valued. (5) However, no evidence has been found of a centralized community, nor do historians know what eventually happened to these people. (6) Historians believe that the Scythians originally came from Asia around 700
B.C., searching for better pastures and other peoples to conquer. (7) At its peak the
Scythian kingdom reached from the Danube river east across the Ukraine, the Crimea, and Russia. (8) Historians disagree about the size of the Scythian population. (9) Some think it numbered around half a million; other contend that it numbered only in the tens of thousands. (10) According to evidence uncovered by archaeologists, both the men and the women were feirce warriors. (11) They often traded their surplus goods and furs for crafted gold and fine ceramics made in Greece and central Asia. (12) The Scythians were especially proud of their adornments made of gold and precious stones. (13) They liked to show their wealth and even decorated their horses with gold. (14) Because of their fighting ability, the Scythians were able to acquire great riches. (15) Many of the Scythians’ gold ornaments found in Russia are formed into shapes that tell stories about their everyday life. (16) One elaborate gold neckpiece has figures of a resting calf, a boy milking a sheep, and bare-chested warriors with their weapons close at hand. (17) Into the image of a Scythian woman, another piece was worked, showing what the people looked like. (18) Archaeologists are still working trying to find out what happened to these people. (19) Although the Scythians left many of their treasure behind, researchers have found no trace of where these mighty warriors went.
